Be it known that l, JOHN HENRY HAMMER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and- State oPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful improvements in a Combined Cane and Pistol-Barrel, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the aocoinpanying drawings.

This invention reiates to certain new and useful improvements in a combined cane and pistol-barrel, and has for its object to provide a device which can be attached to a pistol and when not in use .to be nsed'as a walkingcane,

The object of this invention is to provide a device which can be used as a 'weapon of detense, as a wallri cane, or can be attached io the barrel of :i y stol, giving more force to the projectile, and a greater degree oi aecu racy is obtained. Furthermore, i nini to produce a device whereby a person can travel over smooth or icy surfaces with safety.

YWith the above and. other objects in view my inventioii linally consists in the novel eonstruction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter niore specifically de scribed in the specilication and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail referonce is had to ihe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and

wherein like ligures of re ference indicate sixni'- lar parts throughout the several views, in which* .Figure 1 is a longitudinalv section-.tl view of any invention, showing the parts assembled as a cano, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal view of the saure, showingthc device applied to a pistol. liig. f3 a view oi the cane-handle and cleaning-rod. Fig. f-i is cross-sectional view taken on line X )i oi Fig. 2.

n Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body ci cane, of 'ood, metal, or any desired material, surronn metal tube 2, having a bore of any desired diameter and somewhat shorter than the body of the cane. One

end oi said body portion is internally screw-v threaded cariwinfr an eiternall -screwo a y threaded plugil, having an opening 5, registering with the bore' of the metal tube.

.6 is a disk of any suitable material to exclude dirt and moisture. The opposite end of the body portion engages a handle 7, having a portion S and projection 8, sliding in groove 8b, of substantially the same shape as the barrel of a pistol. Said handle 'carries a rod 9, provided with an opening 10, to serve-as a cleaning-rod..
